We neither Rise Nor Fall (2022)

Acrylic on wood, 600 × 900 cm, for CUEVA's "Metzeschmelz" (destroyed in 2023)

 

This large-scale mural confronted themes of mortality, decay, and historical inertia. Set against a crumbling facade, a towering pile of skulls blurs the boundary between artwork and environment. Rejecting narratives of triumph or downfall, the piece evokes a world suspended in perpetual stasis — a quiet meditation on the transience of human endeavor.

Would you like one even a little tighter, like a true “caption” version (two or three sentences max)?
